Darks POV:

When I felt her aura flare in warning... It sent sparks of fear and shock down my spine. This woman was extremely powerful. I took the hint to leave and flew as quickly as I could to daisuke's house. What I didn't realize... Was I would regret leaving... And my job of fixing her may have gotten more difficult... This I would soon find out the following day.

kagomes POV:

Everything was blurry... Nothing made sense... Nor did I care if it did. I sat unmoving in my seat, answering questions with short, blunt answers that were barely heard in a whisper. Any time I blinked... I saw their blood covering the floor... Saw their shocked faces... Smelled their blood...

They questioned me more... I gave them the same answers... Finally, just when it seemed like it would never end... I heard a boy's voice say enough. I remained where I was, staring at nothing. I didn't know how long it had been... And didn't care...

I was jolted out of my thoughts when a boy with white\blue hair placed a hand on my shoulder, causing me to look up and stare blankly into eyes that were framed by thin glasses. He had a calm, yet sad expression on his face as he helped me stand and let me use him for support as he walked me to a car.

He drove on a familiar road and for once I showed emotion. " No... Not here... Stop the car..."

He turned his eyes to me in slight shock, but also understanding. He didn't stop the car, but he turned around and pulled into a parking lot by a store.

"Ms. Highurashi...-"

"kagome"

"... Kagome... I want you to know... That I have already bought a house for you... The only thing left is to get your stuff from the shrine... I know it's difficult... But... I will be there if ya need me."

I thought for a moment and then nodded once to show I understood. He smiled gently and drove back to the shrine. As I gazed at the place I once called home... I silently wept and got out of the police car. I walked up all 170 steps that led to the shrine and stepped inside, the scent of blood old, but pungent and still there. I closed my eyes for a moment before walking up the stairs to my room. I snapped my finger and everything in the room was automatically transported to the house I would soon occupy. I stiffened though when I walked out and saw five black feathers on the floor when none had been there before. I kneeled down slowly and picked them up gently.

"Dark... I know you're here..."

Dark emerged from the shadows and gave me a look of pain and sorrow... So he heard what had happened, eh?

He opened his arms and I shocked myself by throwing myself into them in a flutter of black wings and tears, clinging to him like a lifeline. I heard another set of footsteps and knew it was the boy from earlier. "Hello Dark... "

At this point I tuned everything out and sobbed into Darks chest, not wanting to let go... Not even caring that I was soaking the front of his shirt. My wings drooped, falling more onto the ground than they usually were as I held onto Dark. Befor I knew it, I became sleepy and felt myself relax completely against him, knowing he would not let me fall to the ground. The last thing I remember was his arms wrapping around me and hearing the boy say to take me to my new house. After that... It was all black and bleak.
